Eran Zahavi has absolutely no intention of leaving PSV. The 33-year-old striker says after the victory against PEC Zwolle (4-2 win) that the violent robbery on his family will not affect his future in the Netherlands. Zahavi dedicated his goal against PEC to his wife Shay, who sat in the stands in the Philips Stadium.

“It was a very tough moment for us, especially for my family,” Zahavi replied ESPN on the events of last week. “It was difficult, but I think life has to move on. My wife and I have decided to get back on track. She has given me full support. She’s the one who decided what I should do. And I can do it. just say thank God for having a woman like that in my life I appreciate that very much, as well as the support from the club and the other players That was very important I can’t do more than thank everyone There came even neighbors along with flowers for my wife and the children. “

Zahavi was happy that his wife and three children could be at the stadium on Thursday. “We get a lot of support from everyone, but my wife and children have suffered a trauma. They will have to deal with that. They were in the stadium today and I was so happy to score for them. It was a special moment.” , said the striker, who headed from a beautiful cross from Donyell Malen. “When did I think about them? To be honest, I was already thinking about my family when the ball was still in the air. I’ve tried to give the best of myself for my wife and kids. It’s very hard on them. We are of course a long way from home, it is not our country. We do have friends here, but no family to support them. My family heard the news from very far away and that is very difficult. “

Zahavi’s contract with PSV will run for another season and the Israeli basically wants to stay in Eindhoven. “I have a contract and both parties are satisfied, so staying with PSV is our plan. But of course you never know in football. No, we are not going to leave because of this. I will not let anyone drive me away from my house or my club. I don’t let other people rule my life and choices. And certainly not the backward people who came into our lives on Sunday. “
